Zint Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 sourceSlash has claimed that music has lost its "magic".The guitarist, who is set to release his second solo album 'Apocalyptic Love' on May 21, told Absolute Radio that the growth of downloading and the fall in popularity of CDs had ruined the excitement of listening to new music for the first time. "There was a certain excitement that came with the release of a new record, and a lot of it was just the package itself, and it was something that you milled over while you were listening to the record," he said."It was sad to see them sort of get phased out but, you know, with CDs at least you still had the booklets, but now, when you look at the digital situation, you're like 'There's nothing in it', you know."He added: It's not even tangible any more. It's convenient, but you lose the magic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 That's true. I never minded swapping my Lp's/ cassettes for CD's, but I can't take MP3, there's no album art. It also lacks the physical aspect of a CD or a LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I still like buying CDs. Getting songs from iTunes or wherever else is fine, but it's not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlinWolf Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I still but CD's but I guess I am "old". I buy the CD and rip it into itunes, then store the CD away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildChild Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I also like to buy the cd in a store, chat with the seller about new and old music, go home and listen the cd, checking the booklet. But mp3 is very practical, good quality and easy to store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
